Abstract
Lactococcus lactis is industrially important microorganism used in many dairy fermentations. Numerous genes and gene expression signals from this organism have now been identified and characterized. Recently, several naturally occurring, inducible gene-expression systems have also been described inL. lactis. The main features of these systems can be exploited to design genetically engineered expression cassettes for controlled production of various proteins and enzymes. Novel gene-expression systems inLactococcus have great potential for development of industrial cultures with desirable metabolic traits for a variety of bioprocessing applications.Keywords
